Use gksudo with GUI apps (like gedit), not sudo.

Can you download the file ok with the web browser?
Do you use a proxy for web access?

I think the problem is that wget is not using the apt settings for proxy.
For wget when called directly, you have to set the proxy inside .wgetrc or set the http_proxy environment variable
